punkrockaddict Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Hi Anybody ever tried to do this ? Iam thinking about replacing the Atrac Chip from a Type-R JA20ES with a Type-S ( and MDLP capable ) one from a JE480. What would happen if the Chip would be perfectly replaced by a reballing machine ? Any possibilities it would play MDLP afterwards using the "new" Atrac CHip ? OK i would start with another Deck to try.. not an ES one at first attempt Think I´ll have to read into Schematics in the SM to be sure it could fit in. Any ideas ?

damnspynovels Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 i doubt it's as simple as swapping a chip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddyjollo Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I bet the chip have 10's of tiny legs to unsolder - rather you than me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkrockaddict Posted October 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I won't solder.A reballing machine does that work. If the connections are the same (just a guess) i could imagine it to be working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkrockaddict Posted October 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I have one of these machines, sure. There is no problem getting the chip out and back in. Oh and i got that many Decks.. it won´t be a problem to slaughter a DEck for testing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkrockaddict Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Ffs i was wrong. Reballing can´t be done cause its no bga chip. I´ll have to try with other chips first to get things working as i want to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddyjollo Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 well while u are at it put in some bits from an apple ipod - there must be lots 0f them floating around and deserve to be gutted - or do the reverse, put an atrac chip in an ipod and create a sensation! You can called it a minipod lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trott3r Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 I expect there would be the need for new interface software to be transfered over to select LP4 might be on the same chip but i guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
